Island History -
Fourteen
acres of land on which this house now stands was purchased by
Andrew Cameron from Mrs. W. Chapin in 1867 to augment his holdings
on the north west point of the island where he had his home.
Framing features and court
house records indicate that the original western section of
the house was probably built in the 1860's and rented to tenant
farmers In 1885 a large new barn was added, and in 1887 accounts
of B. K. Huntington state that Andrew Cameron was building a large
addition to his house, indicating that he had moved his family to
this property, keeping the house on Cameron's Point for his summer
home as oral tradition suggests.
Records show that the builder was John Koehler who also built an
addition to the Otto Dodge home. In 1890 Andrew's son, John,
married, bringing his wife to his family home. He continued to
carry on the thriving farm and vineyards, inheriting the house and
land in 1907. He was a much respected member of the community,
and served on the Board of Directors of the K. I. Dock and
Steamboat Co.
